Appeal No. 2005-0052 Application No. 09/192,014 included. For example, Irons, at column 11, lines 22-26, discloses that “information on document disposition . . . ” can be included in the coded portion of the document tag. Again, we fail to see, in the absence of any language defining the claimed performed service, why disposition of the hard copy document would not be considered a “service” performed on the hard copy document. In summary, we have sustained the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of all of the claims on appeal. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-6, 11, 14, and 15 is affirmed. 10Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
